      This is prolly because you put bluetac over the white ends of the steering knuckles that stick out the bottom of the steering front end of the chassis.

      And no is definately does NOT conduct.

      It might have been too heavy which stopped the steering from working very well.
      I use bluetack to hold components in place whilst soldering (a little hint there) so I concur with ph2t, if definitely does not conduct.

      I have an idea for a new thread …
      “How to make bluetack conduct !”

      I have some slime I picked up from a discovery shop in KL. It’s just like the slime you used to get in kids show bags etc. But this stuff is magnetic. Rather weird shit, it behaves a lot like iron filings do, but slower and heavier.

      I know it has a use, I just haven’t discovered what that it is yet.

      Hey Trash, does that stuff actually conduct, or is it magnetic and non-conductive.
      That sounds like wierd stuff.

      It might have some other electrical properties, like capacitance that might do something.
